Genpact Social Impact Fellowship Set to Transform the Social Sector

Genpact, a global professional services firm focused on
delivering digital transformation for clients, today hosted a leadership forum
with EdelGive Foundation - the philanthropic arm of Edelweiss Group, to discuss
how companies can join forces to transform the non-profit sector. The event
featured Genpact Social Impact Fellowship (GSIF) as a successful, scalable
program that serves as a model for many other organizations seeking to make a
lasting difference in the social sector.

The year-long fellowship program in partnership with
EdelGive Foundation deploys process excellence experts to work on high-impact
projects in India to bring a systemic change in the social sector.

“By
bringing together the best of Genpact and EdelGive, Genpact Social Impact
Fellowship has transformed leading non-profits in India and demonstrated how
solving the biggest problems needs the best minds to work together,” said
Tiger Tyagarajan, CEO, Genpact. “Our fellows created process-efficient
solutions for the non-profit organizations, leading to an amplification of
their social impact targets. We are excited to see the program grow and touch
many more lives in India.”

“This is a great platform and we are sure that it will
benefit many people across the country. Corporates are now coming together for
a better India and we would want to further encourage more companies to be part
of such an initiative,” said Rashesh Shah, Chairman and CEO, Edelweiss
Group.

The
first batch of six GSIF Fellows collaborated with three leading non-profit
organizations working in the education sector in India. Using Genpact’s Lean
Six Sigma and process excellence skills combined with EdelGive’s sector
knowledge, they created the following impact:

·Partnering
with Teach
For India (TFI), GSIF fellows, Anuj Chopra and Shreya Khedia
designed a model for increased operational efficiency for the Teach for India
fellows. This allowed for increased teaching time which will help 10,000
students get 100 more learning hours in a year.

·In a
unique project with Kaivalya Education Foundation (KEF),
GSIF fellows Tulsi Sahu and Seban Babu transformed processes for the delivery
of scholarships, mid-day meals, and distribution of textbooks to help 55,000
students receive their books and scholarships on time.

·GSIF
fellows Pankaj Bhatia and Samarendra Patra standardized Udayan Care’s existing
process framework by creating a playbook that will enable the non-profit to
double its impact by 2020 and improve the lives of 9,000 underprivileged girls.

The
second batch of the fellowship was launched in July 2017 with 16 fellows
working with leading non-profits such as Kaivalya Foundation, United Way, Teach
for India, Magic Bus and NASSCOM Foundation. Through GSIF, Genpact aims to
“partner for good” with more companies and build high impact social programs
that can transform the communities where they operate.
